Avocado Tomato Salad Ingredients
The easy salad can be made with just five basic ingredients: avocado, tomato, peppers, onions, and lime juice.
It’s extremely versatile, so feel free to change the recipe to fit the ingredients you have on hand. You can also easily leave out the cilantro if desired.
Try substituting the bell pepper for diced mango or strawberry, adding lettuce or greens, or tossing in half a cup of corn, cucumber, or roasted sweet potato (here’s how to cook sweet potatoes) or Japanese sweet potato. Or add chopped jalapeños and a dash of chili powder for a spicy Mexican avocado salad.

Ways To Serve The Salad
As a side dish to complement the main course.
On top of Veggie Burgers or these Black Bean Burgers
Wrapped up in taco shells or tortillas to make vegan tacos or burritos
As a heart healthy sandwich spread in place of tuna or egg salad or avocado toast.
(Avocado black bean salad)
You can also turn it into a main meal by adding a protein source – traditional summer avocado salads sometimes call for chicken, shrimp, or salmon, but I keep mine vegan by adding beans or chickpeas instead.

This is so good! I admit I had my expectations set pretty low because it seems so simple, but…I ate the whole bowl in one sitting, oops. What a lovely lunch!

This avocado salad recipe is FANTASTIC! We have made it at least ten times since first discovering the recipe from your facebook post a few months ago. It’s great for snack or dinner and the littles love it too 🙂

This is delicious! My parents recently started eating raw and I received this recipe via your email about a week before they were visiting – perfect timing! I didn’t add the salt as they are also no salt, but I added the black beans (they’re okay with them) and the cucumber. It’s amazing that the lime juice is all it needs. We all loved it and it disappeared quickly. 🙂
